Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

All hail the time of the bunny!
